Hi from South Wales (2 Z4's within 6 months)

Post by Bellawills08 » Fri Dec 27, 2019 9:30 pm

Hi All, Fairly new to the z4 ownership. I bought my first Z4 back in June. (2004 Z4 3.0, Manual with Red Z4M electric sports seats, Sat Nav, Elec Mirrors, Reverse Sensors, cupholders and loads of other extras). Yesterday I picked up another 2004 Z4, this one was another 3.0 with an auto box. Both different driving experiences still undecided on which gearbox I prefer. I also have the Carly App so if anyone needs anything done, just let me know and I will help out when I can. I haven't got a great planned with the two cars, just plan to enjoy them.

Thank you :)

The second one came about because the price was too low to pass up. I think the market has bottomed out in terms of price. I'm really unsure what to do next, I'm edging towards keeping the auto as it has the manual option and auto is great for cruising. I am also tempted to sell both of them and buy a nice e86 coupe.

E86 has to be the best idea!

Coincidentally I'm about to post an advert for mine. :lol:

Welcome to the forum, we would like to see your cars, so get some photos up
I have a 3.0 auto and just love the way it drives, the sports button on the auto turns the car into a nutter :)

They should be attached, first task on the new one (Maldives Blue) was to change the rocker gasket as the old one was brittle and leaking... Spark plug well number 5 was half full with oil so I'm hoping that's fixed now.

Which ever one you decide to keep, I would make sure you keep or swap the Msport seats into it :thumbsup:

I was thinking this but Maldives Blue and red seats wouldn't be the best colour combo IMO
